BELLEVILLE, Ill. (AP/KSL News) -- A trial is scheduled to begin next month in St. Clair County or in Utah for a man accused in the killings of four women in two states.
Forty-two-year-old Donald Younge Jr.'s trial in St. Clair County is to begin March 23 in the deaths of three East St. Louis women.
If that Belleville trial doesn't start as planned, he may be sent to Utah for trial in the 1999 stabbing death of Amy Quinton. She was a 22-year-old theater student at the University of Utah.
Charging documents say that on Aug. 2, 1999, Younge barged into Quinton's apartment. They say Younge terrorized three women inside and demanded their wallets. Quinton's roommate was stabbed. Quinton also was stabbed and died.
Younge has spent six years in St. Clair County's jail, awaiting trial in the Illinois deaths of Tracy Williams, Ramona Sidney and Seriece Johnson. They ranged in age from 32 to 38.
